Young Catholic America: Emerging Adults In, Out of, and Gone from the Church 1st Edition

Christian Smith has written two books that I have based my work with adolescents on. This one gives freah data but much more than mere data. Smith shows us adults how to use his research to walk with our children in such a way as to make then young men and woemn who can think clearly, discern wisely, and live a life that truly impacts people in a most positive way. Both the intellect and the heart are touched positively by this great writer and his books. I highly recommend the works of Christopher Smith to anyone who cares deeply about the teens and young people of our world. These books are like having a real professional as my colleague in loving and caring for as well as helping form the beautiful young people of our world today. It also lets us know where and how they can get off the track and start down a road that leads no where.

Fascinating sociology. Nonetheless, I felt the author could have provided deeper understanding of this very complex topic. Perhaps in a follow up work there will be more nuance and more in-depth understanding.

I always love Christian Smith and this is no different. I was thinking it might be only applicable for college students while I mainly deal with teens however since he's done longitudinal studies, we can see how different things as teens affect faith 5 years later.

Give an excellent insight concerning all of us who work with young adult. I personal think the concepts and insights are good for all faiths.I hope this book helps you as much as it gave me good ideas and understandings.

A great read and it will wake you up on what is really happening.

Extremely valuable for the course I am doing.

Very well researched and forward thinking. Smith and his team were thorough in documenting the thoughts of theses young adults.

Excellent
